So today started like every other day except that I didn't wake up till 2:15 which is bad considering I had a class at 12:30. However upon waking up I realized it was election day which means that I get to vote for the first time ever! I promptly rolled over and woke Lauren up after her sleeping from a long night blogging. We quickly got ready ate some spaghetti and left in my moms sequoia because my car is still broken. (See first blog).
We went to my precinct first seeing as it was closest to our house and there was no one there because they all went in the morning so I got to walk right in and vote. After voting for Obama of course because McCain is a scary, scary man we drove on to Laurens precinct on Winkler. Her precinct also being empty she walked right in and began voting right away. (Also for Obama). First election and our candidate wins!
On our way back we picked up Jeff and headed over to Shane's Rib Shack to get a free meal for voting and to Starbucks for a free coffee. We then headed over to Best Buy to visit Adam but he was to busy helping customers for us so we ended up leaving. Then Lauren, Jeff, and I drove in the car to take Jeff home and for Lauren and me to go home and watch the election.
Upon arriving at home I went to see if my mom was home but she was not however in her room I found three little kittens. My sister said we were getting rid of two and not sure on the third one so I maybe keeping one. Then my sister, Lauren, and me decided to go to Ben and Jerrys to get a free ice cream for voting but it was closed down.( Thanks bad economy :(. ) We then went to Target to get another free coffee from that Starbucks and then onto another Starbucks for another free coffee. We finally headed home and after several debates between my mom and my sister against me on Obama and McCain.
After that Lauren and I went into my room to watch John Stewart and Stephen Colbert co-host a special election hour episode and flip to NBC 2 news every once in awhile to see local elections. After the election where American history was made (Thank god), we sat for another ten minutes decided we were hungry and drove to McDonalds for some food. We returned home Lauren immediately made herself a salad, and we watch TV. She said she didn't feel good so I brought her some Tums and a drink. She took them and is now feeling better.
Now we are just sitting here being bored with nothing to do and watching TV and playing with the three kittens, one is far to playful with its claws.
Anyway nothing left to say so....
Thumbs up have a good day/night!

Now if only the people who DIDN'T vote for him had the civility to accept a loss and recognize what he has to offer.
Yea but for some reason I think that is gonna be hard for them to do. And it is gonna be because McCain's campaign so desperately tried to paint Obama as a Terrorist, Socialist, Muslim, Arab, etc. so now thats all some people see when they look at Obama. I hope though that through his speechs he can capture the attention of EVERYBODY and make everyone realize that we ALL need to be more responsible for ourselves and that we ALL need to come together if we truly want to make CHANGE happen.
Doesn't that assume people are intelligent and will recognize a good thing when they see it? Doesn't it require someone think rationally? Ya, sorry James, but I don't see that happening.
